Chapter Thirty-Eight: That's It

Since Gao Ye made gunpowder and made fireworks, the research on gunpowder has never stopped among the talented people under Gao Ye. In order to achieve the power of gunpowder in Gao Ye's mind, the loser experimented with thousands of different proportions, which recreated the power of black powder in Europe after the Industrial Revolution. In this war, Gao Ye has always regarded this batch of explosives as a secret weapon, and he did not dare to use it easily, in order to make this batch of weapons that are not very powerful can play a key role at a critical time.

But now that the battle has been fought, the victory or defeat has been decided, and the pressure on Gao Ye's whole person has long disappeared. And this batch of explosives is not so important to Gao Ye. According to Gao Ye's calculations, today's battle is estimated to be the last battle he fought on the northwest land, and if he doesn't actually test the power of this batch of explosives on the battlefield, I'm afraid that this expedition will never have a chance again.

A small army of a hundred men, each carrying ten arrows strapped to gunpowder shells, quietly crossed the valley in the darkness of the night, and turned to the back of the whole large battalion. After several scouts had probed the stables, Gao Ye immediately gave the order, lit fires, and released arrows, and for a while the sound of explosives was deafening. Pan Zhang, who was ambushed far in front, was taken aback, not to mention Bu Dugen, Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others stationed in the Wuqi Pavilion?

As battle-hardened veterans, several of them can be said to have experienced countless winds and waves, and they have never seen any tragic scenes. But at the moment when the gunpowder exploded, the huge momentum made everyone wake up from their beds, and the frightened faces were written on almost everyone's faces. One powder bullet may not have been loud, but a hundred exploded almost simultaneously, as if a thunderclap had exploded beside everyone's bedside. Almost instantly, the entire camp went from the original silence to a bustling crowd.

Frightened, the terrifying sound exploded from the west again, only this time, although the sound was not as loud as before, it was endless. The terrain of these five pavilions was already sandwiched between two mountains and a ditch, and tens of thousands of war horses were frightened, and there were only two directions to escape. It's just that behind the war horse, there are a hundred people led by Gao Ye to shoot repeatedly, and under the terrifying sound and the power of the explosion, not a single war horse wants to go to the west, all of them neigh, galloping towards the calm camp. Seeing this, Gao Ye ordered the whole army to be divided into four teams, and repeatedly rolled forward to cover and shoot, so that all the horses rushed to the camp.

Although it is said that the Xianbei Xiliang coalition army is now stationed in a large battalion, the three soldiers and horses in the large battalion have their own places. Budugen had the most soldiers and horses, and was stationed on the far west side. Yan Xing's soldiers and horses were second, stationed on the east side. As for Ma Chao, there are only 800 cavalry under his command now, and they are squeezed into the corner by the two of them and camped. Three armies of horses were stationed in the camp in a zigzag pattern, and each of them gathered his horses and placed them in the stables of his camp. And the back of the camp is where the stables of the Xianbei army are located. Now Budugen has the most soldiers and horses, the strongest strength, and naturally has the most say in the choice. He wanted to be stationed on the westernmost side, that is, the farthest side from the high night, with the idea of "even if the high night kills, the two of them will resist". But now this position is bearing the brunt, and it has really become the ghost gate of the Xianbei Army.

When thousands of horses gallop on the grassland, the momentum can be described as majestic. Now, under the deterrence of gunpowder shells, nearly 80,000 war horses have crashed into the camp of the coalition army like crazy. Yan Xing's arrangement can be described as exhaustive, without any flaws, even if there are 10,000 cavalry in Gao Ye, I am afraid that the strong attack on the camp will be defeated and invincible. But for 80,000 war horses, such a large battalion is simply easy to destroy. I'm afraid that even Yan Xing didn't expect that his defensive move of gathering the war horses would actually become a help for Gao Ye to destroy himself in the end.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing's soldiers still had a chance to get out of the big tent to see what was going on, and many of the soldiers and horses under Bu Dugen didn't even go out of the big tent, and they were trampled into pulp by the galloping war horses. The soldiers, who barely knew what was going on, were already so frightened that they fled forward. It's just that how can two legs outrun the galloping war horse, and before he has run far, he was knocked out by the war horse. The entire valley was not wide, and the escape of 80,000 war horses filled the entire aisle to the brim. It doesn't matter if these soldiers can't run, and having nowhere to hide is the real fear. Once the war horse galloped, it was difficult to stop, but in the time of tea, it had already run through Budugen's camp and ran into Yan Xing's camp. The place where it passed was as if it were destroyed and decayed, and it was razed to the ground.

The tactics are so wonderful, and the results are so great, it's just that Gao Ye is not in the mood to watch it at all, and he has no desire to kill the enemy camp at all. In such a narrow valley, as long as the people in the valley are in the valley, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape the trampling of war horses. Even if the enemy troops on the east side fled privately, there was still Pan Zhang in ambush over there. Nearly 4,000 cavalry against a group of cavalry who lost their horses, I think there will be no surprise, just don't be shocked by this group of war horses.

Therefore, Gao Ye took this hundred guards, released all the gunpowder bullets in his hand, and then returned the same way. Everyone's horses and equipment were at the foot of the mountain on the other side, and after Gao Ye was ready to return, he immediately went to support Pan Zhang. Although it is said that the enemy army has been defeated, there is no way to return to the sky. But if Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Xing and others are lucky enough to escape, with Pan Zhang's martial arts, I am afraid that they will not be opponents. I hurried to help, and it was foolproof.

Gao Ye rushed on the east side of the Wuqi Pavilion, and Ma Chao and the others at this time galloped away like the east side. From the time of the first gunpowder shot, Ma Chao realized that something was wrong, and immediately after the sound of horses' hooves came, Ma Chao gave the order and the whole army hurriedly fled for his life. It's just that the horses are concentrated, and it takes time for ordinary soldiers to rush to the stables to grab a horse. At such a time of crisis, Ma Chao couldn't care about restraining his subordinates, asking them not to crowd, and to take out a horse one by one to escape. Because at this time, even Ma Chao himself was thinking about how to escape.

Ma Chao has already begun to escape, and Yan Xing is naturally not stupid. Connecting with the previous sound, the sound of horses' hooves now, and the Ma Chaojun who fled the road, Yan Xing was no longer dazed in his sleep, and he knew when he would wait if he didn't flee at this time. It's just that although Yan Xing's camp is the farthest away from Budugen's stable, Yan Xing only ordered his subordinates to flee to the east immediately, and then without saying a word, he mounted his horse and fled eastward. Yan Xing knew very well in his heart that if the horses in Budugen were really frightened, they would not be able to get a meal when they ran over. I don't have time at all now, stay here again, escape for my life first, and then talk about it when I return to Xiliang.

It's just that Yan Xing fled and felt gloomy in his heart, this time he arranged the entire camp to the ground, and even Bu Dugen and Ma Chao completely obeyed their own arrangements, thus building the fortifications of this big camp. But who would have thought that his own arrangement would become a help for people to break the camp in an instant, if the Xianbei army of Budugen was as usual, and the soldiers and horses slept together, how could there be the current situation.

But it was too late to regret it, the camp was broken, and under such terrain, there was no power to return to the sky. Unexpectedly, two months ago, he and his father-in-law Han Sui confidently set this plan to attack from both sides, but now they ended up being broken by each other. Not only did Chang'an not get it, but he also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the losses of Ma Teng and Ma Chao are not small, otherwise Han Sui's situation in Xiliang would be even more difficult.

It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and finally ran out of the valley, and finally barely escaped the army, and ran north for only three or five miles, but found that he fell into the ambush of Cao's army again. The soldier who was originally awakened from a dream escaped for a long time like a desperate person, and he still had a little combat power left in his body. Although the cavalry of the Cao army was not as elite as the Xiliang iron cavalry, in comparison, the Cao soldiers were able to bend their bows and shoot arrows on their horses, and after several rounds of arrow rain, they suffered heavy losses. Yan Xing no longer had time to care about how hateful these Cao troops were at this time, and now everyone had only one goal, that is, to quickly escape from the battlefield and completely escape from the pursuit of Gao Ye and Cao Jun.

It's just that Pan Zhang received a military order to intercept and kill the enemy army, how could he let the enemy escape so easily. Although the opponent is Xiliang elite, after this night's tossing, he can still have a little bit of combat power left. Although Pan Zhang didn't know how Gao Ye made such a big move, Pan Zhang knew that if he didn't fight at this time, he would wait for when! Therefore, no matter after the rain of arrows was blown, Pan Zhang gave an order, and the whole army assaulted, killing this defeated cavalry, or just a Xiliang soldier on a horse.

Cao Jun was like a tiger entering a flock, reaping the lives of the defeated army, but at this time, Pan Zhang's whole person was tense. The young general in front of him is not very old, but the martial arts of this body are really extraordinary. A spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake, beckoning danger. After only a dozen rounds of fighting, Pan Zhang knew that if it was not thirty rounds, his life would have to be handed over to him.

On the other side, Pang De saw Ma Chao rushing up and fighting with Pan Zhang, and his heart was also in a hurry, now that his life was about to escape, why bother to entangle with the enemy general. Therefore, he shouted: "The young general should go quickly, don't entangle!" ”

Ma Chao shouted: "Wait for me to kill the thief and avenge the soldiers!" ”

Pang De was about to rush to Ma Chao's side on a horse, but he saw that Pan Zhang couldn't parry, and Ma Chao stabbed the door with a gun, and his heart was overjoyed. After killing General Cao, Cao Jun will no longer chase him, which can be regarded as gratifying. It's just that before he could laugh, he saw a blade directly clamping Ma Chao's spear, and saved Pan Zhang in a hurry. Pang De looked at it and saw Gao Ye holding a gold boring, already protecting Pan Zhang. looked at Ma Chao, then at Pan Zhang, and said with a smile: "Wen Qi, we're done, you can't die at this time!" Pan Zhang's face turned red when he heard this, and he was speechless. I only heard Gao Ye look at Ma Chao and smiled: "Ma Mengqi, come and compete with me again." ”

Ma Chao didn't say a word when he heard this, and stabbed with a gun. It's just that seeing Gao Ye coming, Pang De was already taken aback in his heart, and now he saw Gao Ye's tricks entanglement Ma Chao, and he was even more confused. Gao Ye's move is nothing more than to leave Ma Chao behind, Ma Chao is a young general, the future lord of Xiliang, how can he die here? Therefore, Pang De shouted, a long knife and Gao Yezhan together, while shouting: "The young general leave quickly, I will break the queen!" ”
